"I am not there", directed by Todd Haynes




Six incarnations of Bob Dylan: an actor, a folk singer, an electrified troubadour, Rimbaud, Billy the Kid, and Woody Guthrie. Put Dylan's music behind their adventures, soliloquies, interviews, marriage, and infidelity. Recreate 1960s documentaries in black and white. Put each at a crossroads, the artist becoming someone else. Jack, the son of Ramblin' Jack Elliott, finds Jesus; handsome Robbie falls in love then abandons Claire. Woody, a lad escaped from foster care, hobos the U.S. singing; Billy awakes in a valley threatened by a six-lane highway; Rimbaud talks. Jude, booed at Newport when he goes electric, fences with reporters, pundits, and fans. He won't be classified. Written by {jhailey@hotmail.com}

My opinion: I appreciate this film, even though I am not very into Bob Dylan. For me, I came to that movie to know better about him. It was interesting but I guess super fan would really enjoy 100% as it is filled with fammous songs and personnal breakthrough. Besides, I have been amazed by the casting: Cate Blanchett, Christian Bale, Richard Gere, young Marcus Carl Franklin and Heath Ledger.
